Ahhhh, yes, the old “get senior and your life will be better” argument.

Can confirm. But can also confirm green slips are cheaper than hiring more people for a 3-4 month period in the summer…. to a point.

It works. Takes awhile but I recommend it.

no, i’m saying that “fully staffed” is a subjective thing. staffing has contractual minimums, but beyond that, it’s just whatever someone thinks it is to benefit themselves in the moment

Adequate reserves. Enough to meet the required numbers or blue days at least to begin of the month. This was the norm years ago, not so much since 2012ish. Management has tightened their definitions and are more than willing to bring the heat in the summer months. That is all that really matters. So yes, adequate is subjective but different than historical.
